CHAPTER 1
Getting Started with Your
NOOK HDs
Before getting into the details of using your NOOK HD+ or NOOK HD, take a look
at some of the basics: gestures, setup, and basic navigation. With these basics in
place, you can then discover all the other incredible things your NOOK HD+ or
NOOK HD can do.
NOTE: I simply refer to these devices as NOOK. The two are identical in func-
tionality. The only difference is screen size.
NOTE: Barnes & Noble uses a lowercase n when it spells NOOK and for the
NOOK’s logo.
Understanding NOOK Gestures
You control the NOOK, excepting the Power button, Home button, and volume con-
trols by gestures:
.
Tap: This is the most common gesture. Just press your finger to the screen
and raise it. Usually, you use this gesture with buttons and covers.
.
Press and hold: This is the same as the tap gesture, but instead of raising
your finger, you hold it to the screen for a couple of seconds. This often
opens an additional menu from which to choose by a tap, but you can
encounter other results from a press and hold.
.
Swipe left/swipe right: The gesture is mostly for turning pages. Like a tap,
touch your finger on the screen and quickly drag it to the left (or right) and
lift your finger up.
